getting ready for doors
while i'm on the tail end of mudding and taping, i'm beginnig to plan out the door assemblies, which will be the next big thing. they're also going to be rather complex, what with the need for air-tightness and all that. here's my current plan for the assemblies (it's essentially the same going all around the doorway, so i've just drawn out the side where the door handles will be):
the main differences from normal door frames are the use of the rubber gasket along the doorstop (others have found that a particular type of GM trunk rubber works best here), and there won't be any doorknobs or latches or anything else that might involve making holes in the door, so instead there will be handles surface-mounted on either side of the doors and magnets to hold them in place when closed.
the trunk rubber is on order, i just picked up enough wood to do about 4 of the 8 doorways, and i'll be ordering the fabric to wrap the insulation this week--i'm going to order all my fabrics for this and various room-treatment purposes from one of the companies out there that makes fire-safety-rated fabric.
